“From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose are soul mates. They understand and complement each other.” –Russell T Davies

“He’s a very damaged and closed man. She brings that out of him. She brings him back to life. She widens his horizons.” –Russell T Davies

“What Rose brings to the Doctor’s life is completion. It’s completing a circle – he’s male, he’s alien, he’s a traveler. Between the two of them together they complement each other and discover each other. And are in love with each other – absolutely, unashamedly, unreservedly.” –Russell T Davies

“It’s a love story. It’s like love at first sight, in a way.” –Christopher Eccleston

“To all intents and purposes, it’s a love story, really, the Doctor and Rose. Rose is clearly in love with the Doctor. And as time goes on we realize that he’s rather fallen for her.” –David Tennant

“The Doctor is literally thrown into this bizarre new circumstance before he's properly gotten himself together after saying farewell to Rose, who was the love of his life.” –David Tennant

“I think Rose was unique in the sense that she loved him and he loved her back. And it was more than just a hint. It was deeply emotional.” –Freema Agyeman

“She’s the one woman, the one human, that can make him better – that can make him a bigger character, a better man.” –Julie Gardner

“From first holding the Doctor’s hand to a farewell on a beach, Rose is the Doctor’s reason to fight, to endure, to ensure there’s light in the darkness. Together they can achieve anything. As Episode 9 describes it, they are the stuff of legends.” –Julie Gardner

“He loves this woman so much.” –Julie Gardner

“Obviously and quite overtly, really, the subtext of this show is that the Doctor is hopelessly in love with Rose.” –Steven Moffat

What I write: The couple who made me fall head-over-heels for this series -- Ten/Rose & TenToo/Rose (and maybe a dash of dashing Nine) with an emphasis on romance. Lots. Seriously. Sometimes fluffy and sweet and sometimes deep and angsty, much like the pairing itself. I occasionally follow canon and occasionally chuck it out the window. There are often twists and turns but usually happy endings given time.

Why I write: An escape from the tension of a hectic life and a source of enjoyment! I try not to take myself or my writing too seriously so that it becomes stressful, but rather strive to keep the process fun despite the time and effort involved. I then share the end results of my overactive imagination with the hope that others can enjoy it in the same way. :)
